Intro
N.C.
You're on your own, kid
You are
Verse 1
[A] [E]
Make my way through the motions, I try to ignore it
[A]
But home's looking farther the closer I get
Don't know why I can't see the end
[E]
Is it over yet? Hmm
[A]
A short leash and a short fuse don't match
[E]
They tell me it ain't that bad, now don't you overreact
[A]
So I just hold my breath, don't know why
[E]
I can't see the sun when young should be fun
Pre-Chorus
[A]
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
[E]
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
[A]
And I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
[E]
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
Chorus
[A]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
[E]
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[A]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey
[C#m] [B]
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
Verse 2
[A] [E]
Try to mend what's left of my content incomprehension
As I take on the stress of the mess that I've made
[A] [E]
Don't know if I even care for "grown" if it's just alone, yeah
Pre-Chorus
[A]
And I guess the bad can get better
Gotta be wrong before it's right
[E]
Every happy phrase engraved in my mind
[A]
And I've always been a go-getter
There's truth in every word I write
[E]
But still the growing pains, growing pains
They're keeping me up at night
Chorus
[A]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
[E]
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
[A]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey
[C#m] [B]
And I can't hide 'cause growing pains are keeping me up at night
Outro
[A]
Starting to look like Ms. Know-it-all
Can't take her own advice
[E]
Can't find pieces of my peace of mind
I cry more than I'd like to admit
[A]
But I can't lie to myself, to anyone
'Cause phoning it in isn't any fun
[E]
Can't run back to my youth the way I want to
[A]
The days my brother was quicker to fool
AM radio, not much to do
[E]
Used monsters as an excuse to lie awake
[E]
Now the monsters are the ones that I have to face
No band-aids for the growing pains
[A]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
[C#m] [B]
Hey, hey, hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey
No band-aids for the growing pains
